The Kevin Garnett claim is hilarious. That guy is in the top 10 at best. He’s a great player, but I’d take a lot of PF/C’s over him. Duncan is still a great player as well, but he isn’t where he was a few years ago. The debate is Kobe or Wade, it’s that simple. No player does more by themselves to make their team better. And while James may eventually get there, he is not on that level yet. He hasn’t learned how to play smart basketball consistently yet. His shooting numbers prove that. In my opinion, for what it’s worth, Wade is the best/most complete player in basketball.

Chambers/KJ was hyperbole (correct number is something like 51 home games), and yes, Wade was at home, not on the road.

Wade is averaging about one more steal per game than Kobe. Something like 2.5-1.5. Kobe shoots better from 30 (considerably), but Wade averages more assists.

Statistically, they are a virtual wash.

sean your argument makes a lot of sense and is mostly true… but you cant say that dwade is the best player in the league and you certainly cant say he’s better than the three the other guy listed, and i’d add king james to that list as well.

Kantwistaye: Do you even watch Basketball? Wade is a phenomenal defender. Dude is second on his team in blocks. He constantly gets steals and disrupts the other team. And just because he isn’t foolish enough to attempt too threes like some of the other guards (Kobe, Lebron, Arenas) doesn’t mean he doesn’t have outside shooting. He consistently knocks down 20 footers in defenders’ faces on a nightly basis. Those arguments have no legs whatsoever.

D-wade doesn’t have any weaknesses??? How bout outside shooting and defense? D-Wade is nowhere near the best player in the league. The three best players are Kobe, KG, and Duncan because they dominate on offense and defense.

“first double-digit home loss since the days of Tom Chambers and Kevin Johnson”

They were both team mates of Barkley right?

Pierce coming back is bad news for the Celtics, they’ll probably start winning some games again and be eclipse by the Grizz as the worse team in the NBA. Hopefully they beat the Bucks this week, to end the losing streak before they set the record, and Pierce sprains his ankle or something and misses another month or so.

Yep. Wade is the man. Kobe is talented and blah blah blah, but the simple fact is, Wade is a better player. Watch any Laker game and any Heat game, and it is clear as day. Kobe will ooh and ah you a couple times, he might throw up 80 points, but he isn’t as good a player. Wade’s game doesn’t have a weakness. Not one. If anything separates the two it might be the difference in ego between the two which allows Wade to excel in any situation while Kobe will continually force shots down the stretch.
